Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Theologian Looks at Urban Mission Theologian Looks at Urban Mission by Professor Yoshinobu Kumazawa I have been asked to express my views as a theologian on the problem of urban mission. No doubt in this study group you will, on another occasion, be permitted to see the problem from the viewpoint of a social scientist. Preliminary to a consideration of urban evangelism, it is necessary to say a word about our understanding of evangelism as such. I can at this point do little other than outline my own understanding very briefly. I understand evangelism or mission essentially as koinonia. This comes of course from my understanding of the essence of God the Trinity as koinonia. God in his essential being is a fellowship of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Further, God´s work of creation and redemption is directed toward making it possible for his creatures to share in the fellowship which is his essential nature. In this understanding, mission can be defined as the work of God enabling his creatures to share in this fellowship. Therefore mission is seen essentially as God´s mission. The church in its turn then is an instrument of God serving his mission through a ministry of kerygma, didache and diakonia (preaching, teaching and healing). It is with this understanding as background that I will use the words evangelism or mission. What is Urban Evangelism? In a study group such as this, it probably is unnecessary to raise the question, "What is urban evangelism?" However, in view of the confusion that seems to exist in local churches regarding this question, I would like to discuss the matter briefly from what seems to be the two prevailing viewpoints at present. First of all there is the approach which sees urban evangelism simply as "evangelism in the city." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
